9WaterproofingMoisture penetration is one of the mostcritical challenges facing buildings today.Interior or exterior, above grade or belowgrade, unprotected buildings suffer fromwater-induced damage. Deterioration andcorrosion are caused by alkalis, salts,acids and mold. MasterSeal‘s liquidappliedhigh performance membranesoffer long-lasting protection against themost damaging conditions.Wall CoatingsKeeping surfaces beautiful and walls dryrequires protection more powerful than theelements. Our line of MasterProtect ® highbuild coatings include smooth, textured orelastomeric coatings that protect againstmoisture, carbonation or crack bridging.BASF’s high-build coatings combinewaterproofing with improved aesthetics toenhance the value of buildings and providelong term protection.Water RepellentsAlthough brick, masonry and concretesurfaces provide character to a building,they require effective protection from thedamages of wind-driven rain, freeze-thawcycles, and chloride ion intrusion.MasterProtect patented silane waterrepellents maintain the original appearanceof the substrate and allow moisture vaporto escape, while sealing and protecting theconcrete and masonry for years to come.Corrosion MitigationSteel reinforced concrete is an integralpart of building structures. Unfortunatelycorrosion often compromises the integrityof many structures. MasterProtectadvanced corrosion control solutions areformulated to inhibit corrosion, extendingthe service life of buildings and enhancingsafety. The compatibility of MasterEmacoconcrete repair and MasterProtectcorrosion control materials provideassurance of long-lasting performance.Balcony and Traffic CoatingsBalconies and parking garages representsome of the toughest challenges inprotecting a building from moisture relateddamage. Proper protection requires anintegrated system of materials. BASF’swide range of chemistries (polyurethane,epoxy, methacrylates) can be customizedto meet diverse application requirementsfrom speed to durability to aesthetics.Concrete StrengtheningThe effects of corrosion, physical damageor a change of use can shorten the life ofa building. MasterBrace ® compositestrengthening systems are designed forstrengthening beams, slabs, walls andcolumns. MasterBrace can cost effectivelymeet complex repair challenges whiledelivering versatility, ease of applicationand long-term performance.
